oh no! you've been shrunk down! at least there's some cute bugs here that you can talk too... 

make friends with these two weird bugs, while also trying to get back to your normal life! 

there are 3 endings, each ~20-30 min to play. the web version runs pretty slow, so i recommend the downloadable builds because of that. hope you enjoy!!

I was into Tettig back when he was still doing local gigs. I only listen to his earlier material though, from before he got signed and sold out.

I love how silly this game is :3 I was soo torn between staying with the bugs or leaving to go back to normal. I liked all their antics, both Ceris and Tettig felt really sincere as characters, and I liked their honest attempts to help you/ just hang out :3

YAY! This was sooo cute. Tettig was my favorite with their little musics! I gave them both a shot, and I decided not to drink the potion at the end and stayed with them because I hoped to hang out with Tettig again one more time before going! Regardless, I was really satisfied and will probably play again to look at the other endings. 

Very cute! I appreciate that there's a motion sickness-friendly option and I really enjoy the illustrations. It was funny to hear them play music and I liked being able to choose who I wanted to hang out with. I chose to stay small with my little bug friends.

really cute game!! i ended up staying small and playing music with tettig. the art was so cute, and so were the characters (like, cute in how they acted not just how they looked). i really want to play again to see more of them!

It's so adorable, I love the boiled look for the two bugs, it gives everything so much motion I love that Ceris has like opposite tastes from us, so they keep making bad drinks. It's such a good time 10/10

Im absolutely obsessed with the visuals of this! I really enjoyed the mix of photography and animated characters. Also the UI and title screen made the game feel so complete! I ran into an error when I chose not to drink the liquid with Terrig. But I replayed and chose different dialogue options and was able to complete the game! Really really enjoyed this experience :)

The UI design and dynamic effects are excellent, and the combination of realistic backgrounds and cartoon characters is quite interesting. I'm not sure if the resolution is intentionally controlled, but it looks a bit small in full-screen mode.

Adorable!! The art gave me Omori vibes and the bugs are so cute I felt bad having to choose one for each day. I did encounter a crash 10 min deep trying to walk through the portal film thing tho :(( -Arian

I chose the "drink it" option at the end and ran into a crash error :( This game is so so cute, I think the music is really well chosen and I like the small animations you do with the background. It feels very alive!

i think that might've been when i updated the build 😭 but thank you!!

This was really cute, but the sort of vibrating-moving backgrounds triggered some photosensitivity for me; hurt my eyes. Loved the story though and it was mild enough I powered through, but I would recommend maybe having an option to disable the moving backgrounds!

I do wish there was another option to get really close to both Cerris and Terrig, for endings. But it was all good!

thanks for letting me know about the photosensitivity issues!! i'll definitely add a warning, and i'll work on making an option to turn the moving backgrounds off. 

i'd also love to make another ending! i was actually thinking of adding another in-game day where you hang out with both of them at the same time, and maybe depending on your choices then you could get a different ending with the both of them. 

thanks so much!! 

Love the idea and especially the music but the backgrounds made me nauseous. So I'll wait for the implementation of the bg-option and give it another try then :)

ok, there's now an option to switch off the moving backgrounds!! thanks again for letting me know abt the issues :>
